Very few of those original Xbox live games have ever really impressed me. IF im not mistaken this game was like 1 step above a 2d shooter.

game is out. I'll play it a bit later in co op campaign with my best friend later tonight. Also apparently if you already had purchased the game, call the 18004myxbox number and they will refund your 800 points you spent on it when it came out. Thats nice of them, I didn't expect that.

I think I had more fun with Frogger, Joust and Robotron.

Same. I've only played one level, but it seemed pretty lame.

it be better with an HDTV. Then it might look like more than my blue dot moving around the screen shooting at orange dots (who also look just like my ammo, so very frustrating).

Yeah, that's what it looks like on my 10 yr old Sony Trinitron. I didn't think much of the game. I would have much rather had 800 points to spend freely on what I wanted.
